Samples & Samples | Old World Vs New World

October 1, 2020
When: Release 12:00pm
Where: Pre-Recorded Video


The most basic difference between Old World and New World wines is geographic: Old World refers to the traditional wine growing regions of Europe, while New World refers to everything else.

Derrick will share his years of knowledge on this subject to show you how to differentiate between Old World and the New World wines, and how to break down different regions. 

This is a pre-recorded video that will be added to our Virtual Event Series. The videos will be permanently hosted on our Vimeo Showcase Page so you can watch at your convenience, at any time.
